About me

Taking that first step to finding a counsellor may feel daunting, especially when life may already feel very challenging.

From listening to my clients I have come to understand how deciding to begin counselling can really feel quite scary. It is for this reason that I offer a 30 minute introductory session for new clients, free of charge, and with no obligation to book further sessions.

I hope my profile will give you the information you need to make your choice. If there is something else you need to know, please give me a ring or send me an e-mail.

I am a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor, which simply means that I work with a variety of techniques, depending on my client’s needs, and these techniques are held within a structured framework. My focus is to build a strong relationship with my clients to support and contain them through the challenges of the counselling work they choose to do.

Here is a brief snapshot of some of the work I have done.

I have worked as a counsellor and supervisor for several years with clients who are bereaved. My clients have stretched across the age ranges and with all types of loss. I have also worked alongside clients struggling to cope with loved ones who were terminally ill.

I have a lot of experience working with survivors of abuse and domestic violence. This work includes working with feelings around power and control, the loss of childhood; strong feelings of guilt and shame, low self esteem and so much more.

I am an experienced Supervisor for a Dorset based charity, I work on a 1:2:1 and group basis.

Further information

I offer a counselling service from two locations, Poole and Cranborne, the choice is yours.

For clients preferring a more central location, I hire counselling space from a well established and respected counselling agency in the Parkstone area of Poole.

Alternatively, I have a counselling practice just outside the peaceful village of Cranborne in Dorset. My practice is easily accessed being close to the towns of Verwood, Wimborne, Fordingbridge, Ringwood and Salisbury. Bournemouth, Blandford and Southampton are approximately 30-35 minutes away.

Counselling rooms at the Cranborne location are all on the ground floor making access for clients with mobility difficulties easier. There is ample parking available.
